Lift Kit Suggestions: K3500

[Proper Historics]

Hello. I'm new to the K3500 platform and seeking options suggestions to accommodate a 295/70-18 wheel and tire combination (that's roughly a 34.3 x 11.6 tire) or a 285/65-20 (a 34.6 x 11.2) for my 1999 K3500 Crew.

Comfort and on road performance are essential (there will be a lot of highway miles put on this truck), but offroad ability are critical too.

Any suggestions? Does such a thing exist for this older platform?

I can't help with what is currently available, but will say that I think you are going to want more than 4" of lift. That's not enough for full suspension travel on the stock front end when making hard turns on 34.6" tires - you'll get some rubbing.

get a 3" body lift. won't affect ride quality. I ran 315/75/16s on 10" rims and only rubbed when stuffed hard. Bars turned up some but not too bad....
